In the words of @UN @antonioguterres: impunity compounds suffering and anguish. On the Intl Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, we reaffirm the need for truth and justice for these crimes so that the families of those disappeared can get the closure they so deserve.

On Ukrainian Independence Day, the fight for sovereignty is also a fight for memory, accountability, and justice. Chris Stephen tells the story behind Peace for Nina, a documentary following a Ukrainian mother’s search for the truth about her son’s execution after his capture in 2014. Her story shows how documenting war crimes has become part of Ukraine’s broader struggle to defend not only its independence, but the rights and dignity of those who have suffered for it. #UkrainianIndependenceDay Read the full analysis: cepa.org/article/tracking-my…
